Official Press Kit Born in Chula Vista, California, Gabriel Iglesias Is the Youngest of Six Children, Raised by a Single Mother in Long Beach, CA OFFICIAL PRESS KIT Born in Chula Vista, California, Gabriel Iglesias is the youngest of six children, raised by a single mother in Long Beach, CA. It was during his childhood that he developed a strong sense of humor to deal with the obstacles he faced. In 1997, he set out to hone his comedic skills, and performed stand-up anywhere he could find an audience; including biker bars and hole-in-the-wall joints. Gabriel’s stand-up comedy is a mixture of storytelling, parodies, characters and sound effects that bring his personal experiences to life. His unique and animated comedy style has made him popular among fans of all ages. Iglesias is one of America’s most successful stand-up comedians performing to sold-out concerts around the world. He is also one of the most watched comedians on YouTube with over 300,000,000 views. The comedian has also had the distinct honor of being one of the few to headline and sell-out Madison Square Garden and The Microsoft Theater. Celebrating 20 years in standup comedy, Iglesias is currently on the new world tour, FluffyMania World Tour: 20 Years of Comedy. Fluffy Food Adventures, a non-scripted comedic docu-follow series co-starring Gabriel’s eccentric tour mates and fellow comedians Martin Moreno, Rick Gutierrez, G Reilly and Alfred Robles will launch its 3rd season (formerly Fluffy Breaks Even) on FUSE TV in 2017. The show follows Gabriel and his crew on a coast-to-coast culinary trip in search of the country’s most mouthwatering dishes as they discover local gems, unique activities and a few celebrities along the way. Iglesias has been cast in the upcoming 2017 animated films Smurfs: The Lost Village (Sony Animation), voicing the character “Jokey” and Ferdinand (20th Century Fox) voicing the character “Cuatro.” He will also be reprising his role of “Jimmy” in the animated filmThe Nut Job 2 along with Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph and Katherine Heigl. In 2015, he co-starred with Channing Tatum in Warner Bros’ Magic Mike XXL, reprising his role as Tobias. Gabriel also lit up the small screen on the ABC sitcom Cristela. At the end of 2016, Iglesias released his 6th one-hour comedy special, I’m Sorry For What I Said When I Was Hungry on Netflix worldwide. He filmed the special at the Allstate Arena in Chicago to 2 sold-out shows with a total of 20,000 fans in attendance. Other feature film credits include co-starring roles inA Haunted House 2, and his voice can be heard in numerous animated films Norm of the North, The Book of Life, The Nut Job and Disney’s Planes. Gabriel also starred in the theatrical stand-up concert comedy film, The Fluffy Movie. For the past three years Comedy Central has aired Iglesias’ hit series Stand-Up Revolution. The cable network also premiered Gabriel Iglesias: Aloha Fluffy in an unprecedented two-night comedy special to over 15 million viewers. The special was a follow- up to his previous DVD specials, Hot & Fluffy and I’m Not Fat...I’m Fluffy, which have sold a combined total of over 2 million copies.

Even though I’m in this position, I’m still trying to let people know, ‘Hey, I’m not trying to send out servants to bring me food.’ I’m the guy that will still go to the mall and I’ll hang out. I’m the guy you’ll find at the gas station pumping his own gas. I’m more popular, definitely, but I’m not different.” PRESS-TELEGRAM RICHARD GUZMAN Iglesias is a top-grossing comedian with a busy slate of projects and live gigs who still lives and hangs out in his hometown, where it all started on a small elementary school stage. “I love that I still live here, this is my hometown. I could live anywhere in the world at this point, but I chose to stay here, this is my roots,” said Iglesias BRETT BERK Gabriel Iglesias – also known as Fluffy – is a successful film and television actor, voice performer, and stand-up comedian known for his roles in The Book of Life, Cristela, Magic Mike (and its forthcoming sequel Magic Mike XXL), and his stand-up film The Fluffy Movie. Gabe also just announced that he will be headlining Madison Square Garden on April 17th. With all of this success comes the inevitable collection. Fortunately for us, Gabriel has decided to forego hoarding American Bisque cookie jars or Vargas Girl paintings, and focus instead on cars. He now has quite an eclectic collection featuring everything from a 2013 Audi A8 to a 1979 Trans-Am signed by Burt Reynolds. JEN WEDDLE He has a deep appreciation for his fans and believes that for any comedian to be successful they must work clean, relate to an audience and know their audience. One of the ways that Iglesias stays connected with his audience is by running all of his own social media accounts so all of the comments and photos posted to the fans are actually responses from Iglesias..

Natalie Dormer and Gene Tierney With HBO's massively successful fantasy series Game of Thrones finally over and a whole slew of spinoff series coming down the pipeline soon enough , many fans of the show are left wondering what star Natalie Dormer will do next. For instance, they've starred in the Ocean's film series and Burn After Reading. Here's What to Expect for the Super Bowl. It can't be denied that everyone knows her name. It can sometimes feel like society has hit a new level of boy craziness sometimes. Lea Michele and Naya Rivera The cast of Glee was riddled with as much in-house drama as a real-life glee club. When Lea Michele started gaining a massive fanbase, other characters started receiving fewer lines and less-important storylines.

They’re trying to make you, the individual, laugh in your moment of sad- ness so just for the briefest of seconds, you have a minor moment of respite where you forget how shit things are and you get to have a giggle with your- self.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers in Bessemer
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.
